My husband Jim and I spend an enjoyable but exhausting day. We tallied 22
warbler species at Susquehanna. Favorites were a nice CAPE MAY WARBLER at
the new Chat field, NORTHERN WATRTHRUSH at Deer Creek, and a not very
co-operative WILSON's WARBLER in the grove of trees near the parking lot
entrance, as well as a CHESTNUT SIDED, (close to the pond). Great looks at
a singing KENTUCKY WARBLER. Lots of BLACKPOLLS, PARULAS and BLACK THROATED
BLUES. It seems like the Red Phalarope at Swan Hrbor is gone, but we heard
and had great looks at the COMMON GALLINULE. Surprisingly, no rails or
bitterns. The 2 SNOWY EGRETS remain, and 2 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS (listed
as rare in e-bird), kept company with the LEAST SANDPIPERS. An ORCHARD
ORIOLE made an appearance, with a female carrying nesting material.
